There are many that will tell you that the road to wedded bliss starts with buying an exquisite engagement ring, and these days buying the ring is a mutual decision. An engagement is certainly the right time to embrace embellishment at a high level, and black diamond engagement rings have become THE diamond of choice. They provide an air of mysticism, and are sophisticated, stylish and elegant. Black engagement rings symbolize the depth of a couple's love, passion, as well as their strength of commitment.
They are real diamonds, but with a different crystalline structure, and are cut and polished to perfection then set in white, yellow or black gold. You will have one of the hottest current jewelry accessories going.
Known as Carbonado
These natural polycrystalline diamonds get their black color because of dark inclusions from graphite and amorphous carbon that mixed with the diamond over three Billion years ago. Today, many black diamonds are treated to achieve the uniformity of the black color and thus make those more affordable for people. The natural black diamonds are more brittle and porous than other diamonds but still command very high prices. Some of the more famous black diamonds are the 202 carat 'Black Star of Africa' which is valued at a whopping 1.2 million US dollars. Fortunately for us, these diamonds that have been treated are within our budget and are a stunning and much sought after mainstream gemstone.
Embracing Contrasts
These diamonds are cut and polished to perfection and set in 14- and 18kt white, yellow and black gold as well as platinum.
A popular trend is to have them set with contrasting white diamonds. Durable enough to wear every day, these rings are utterly a symbol of enduring love. This makes the Black Diamond Wedding Sets very popular as well. They go with any outfit, whether you are dressed for a party, in your business suit or are in a pair of skinny jeans.
Black Diamond Engagement Rings: Will They Be Good Luck or Bad
Depending on what part of the world you are from these unique engagement rings could be good luck, with wonderful meaning or bad luck with not so good connotations. In Italy, they are called the "stone of reconciliation". They are believed to help and heal couples in troubled relationships just by touching a black diamond. Afterward, their troubles would leave them and enter the black stone.
However, in India, they carry more ominous connotations. Some believe that because the stone resembles the eyes of snakes and spiders that they belong to Yama, the God of death, and thus are cursed. I'm with the Italians on this one.
A unique April Birthstone
Black diamond engagement rings can be as modern or vintage art deco as you like.
You can take your pick from solitaire black diamond engagement rings or surround them with other gemstones. As a unique April birthstone; like the Sapphire Engagement Rings from September; you were born in that particular month and are now getting engaged or married in it with the same gemstone on your finger would make everything more memorable yet. The black diamond promise's to be even more personal, romantic, mysterious and enchanting all at the same time.
